About the Representative Assembly

Note: The pre-convention Local & Retiree Council Presidents Conference takes place April 7-8, 2016.

What is the RA?

Members make their voices heard by electing local delegates who represent them at NYSUT's annual convention, the Representative Assembly.

The RA is the union's highest policy-making body, except for a membership referendum. All NYSUT members are welcome to attend the annual Representative Assembly, but only duly elected and reported delegates may debate and vote on proposed amendments to the Constitution and Bylaws, proposed resolutions and other business that might be brought before the Representative Assembly according to NYSUT Constitution and Bylaws provisions or policy.
